A Second Admonition of Conscience, is This: 'Tis a GOD offended by thy Sin, who sends thy Dangers upon thee. Thou art a Sinner. Thy Sin has been an Offence unto GOD; Thy Sin makes thee obnoxious unto the Anger of GOD; lays thee open unto the Vengeance of GOD. It is a Thing of the greatest Importance, that the Displeasure of GOD, should not remain burning against thee; A displeased GOD is an Adversary, which — how can thy Hands be strong, or how can thy Heart endure, to encounter with Him | Conscience now subscribes to Thee; Prov. XIII. 21. Evil pursueth Sinners.
A Third Admonition of Conscience, is This: REPENTANCE, REPENTANCE! That is the most likely way to escape thy Dangers. O wicked one, Forsake thy ways; O unjust one, Forsake thy Thoughts; Return to the Lord, and He will have mercy! If thou Repentest not, thou mayst Fear, that the Arrows prepared on the bent Bow of GOD, will be let fly upon thee. The Language of Conscience now is That; Jon. III. 8, 9. Turn every one from his evil way, — who can tell, but GOD ⟨p. 10⟩may turn away from His fierce Anger, that we perish not.
